> Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) was one of the most emblematic and 
> significant
> personalities in the contemporary art vanguard after World War II; he
> participated in the first events organized by the Fluxus 
> group and then
> focused all his work in the area of performances and the 
> defense of the
> environment, with a strong political, social, humanitarian 
> and economic
> commitment. In the last years of his life he visited Italy many times,
> particularly Abruzzo, where he found a fertile terrain for 
> his ideas among
> the people, and the ideal location for the expression of his 
> beliefs as a
> man and as an artist.
> 
>  
> 
> The last great masterpiece of Beuys is his Defense of Nature, 
> a colossal
> operation developed in Italy in a context in which unbridled 
> nature plays a
> primary role, reflecting the expansion of human thought and 
> energy. Man¹s
> relationship with nature has always been a constant theme in 
> Beuys¹ work:
> the defense of nature viewed as environmental concern and 
> interpreted above
> all in the anthropological sense, Defense of Man, of Human Values, of
> Creativity.
